Systems and methods for the preparation of fluids for bioprocess and pharmaceutical applications

A system for producing fluids for bioprocess and pharmaceutical applications comprising:

• a manifold having first and second halves surrounding a segment of flexible tubing having a main line extending therethrough and a plurality of branch lines coupled to the main line;
• a plurality of flexible bags secured to the plurality of branch lines, each flexible bag comprising an interior volume and having at least one inlet and outlet and further containing in the interior volume of each plurality of flexible bags a plurality of tablets;
• and
• a plurality of pinch valves disposed on the manifold and configured to pinch the main line along one or more locations and the plurality of branch lines secured to the plurality of flexible bags;
• and
• wherein the plurality of branch lines comprise an inlet branch line and an outlet branch line for each flexible bag of the plurality of flexible bags and wherein each inlet branch line and each outlet branch line has a respective pinch valve associated therewith.
